Large cutaneous defects exposing the whole tibial crest are difficult to cover and are conventionally best treated with free flaps. This article describes a technical modification of the adipofascial flap in this indication.
The "flip-flap" is vascularized by the posterior tibial artery perforators harvested on the medial aspect of the leg. The hypodermal and fascial tissue is de-epidermized and elevated from the posterior midline up to the medial edge of the soleus muscle, then folded over the exposed tibial crest like a page of a book.
A 27×6cm effect was successfully covered on a 72 year-old patient with vascular status precluding free flap. The flap healed by day 21.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: This technical modification is simple and allows coverage of large tibial crest skin defect when a free flap is not possible.
暴露整个胫骨嵴的大面积皮肤缺损难以覆盖,传统上最好采用游离皮瓣进行治疗。本文描述了这种情况下脂肪筋膜皮瓣的技术改良。
“翻转皮瓣”由小腿内侧采集的胫后动脉穿支血管化。将皮下组织和筋膜从后中线向上掀起至比目鱼肌的内侧缘,然后像书的一页一样对折覆盖暴露的胫骨嵴。
一名 72 岁的患者血管状况不适合游离皮瓣,我们成功地用 27×6cm 的皮瓣覆盖了 27×6cm 的创面。皮瓣在第 21 天愈合。
讨论/结论:这种技术改良简单,可以在无法使用游离皮瓣的情况下覆盖大面积的胫骨嵴皮肤缺损。
